Romantic dates in Richmond

“The best meal we have had during this visit. Maybe the best for over 20 years. Very complex dishes with multiple textures. I will be making the oxtail croquettes myself when I get home if I can recreate the crumb. The amazing poached pear dessert is well beyond my skill level.”

“This restaurant is awesome and the food is better than better. Awesome place to eat.”

“Enjoyed lunch today at the Watermans.The food was really excellent and the portions were very generous.The pub has recently been renovated and they have done a really great job on the decor and ambience. We came here under the First Table offer so the meal was excellent value.The staff were delightful and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the gastro pub. We will definitely come again and can’t recommend it highly enough!”

“La Piazza is, by far, one of the best restaurants in the area. Having been a few times before, I knew what a great place it was: friendly, welcoming and with delicious food, prepared and served with genuine passion by the owner. And this occasion was no exception. Rubik’s hospitality was - as usual - second to none, and he made my dinner date with a friend very special.”

“The food was amazing especially the miso aubergine. Great service. Definitely going back! The vibe here is very cosy, great for date night or chilling after a long day. Although it can get booked pretty fast even on weekdays.”

“As a huge fan of Persian & Iranian cuisine, I have to say that this place is a solid 10. The garlic and sesame naan was fragrant and deliciously paired with the juicy koobideh kebab. The rice were fragrant and the flavours enhanced when we asked for some butter to go with them. Good indoor and outdoor seating. Attentive service. Fair pricing about £25pp”

“Always a wonderful experience here! The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The food is consistently delicious. It’s the kind of place you can count on for both quality and service every time. Highly recommend!”

“This place deserves much higher review points. Everything is perfect. Literally perfect It has been around many years. Feels so cosy with carpet and cushion decoration. Lighting and music really on point and good. Really helpful staff. Enough time between the meals. Had beef tartare and tempura squid and prawn as a starter. Burger and beef stroganoff for main. Cost around £60 per person inc service charge which is really reasonable for the quality they are providing. Thanks”

“This restaurant is absolutely outstanding. The cuisine is incredibly delicious, and the truffle pasta is simply unforgettable — rich, fragrant, and perfectly cooked. The desserts are on another level, each one more amazing than the last. The staff is exceptionally attentive and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for exceptional Italian food, this place is a true gem, conveniently located near Richmond Station. Highly recommended!”

“We got a takeaway for a family of 6. We love the huge portions, and generous amount of chips. Really cannot fault anything... It is also very nice that they also offer grilled options, on top of their selection of battered deep-fried goodies. Everything is delicious!”

“Quality. Variety. Been going here for a couple of decades. Consistently excellent. Always a nice welcome and attentive and confident service. Really good breakfast choices. Wide salad selection. Just addicted !”

“I've been eating and taking away from this restaurant almost from the time I moved to Putney 57 years ago. Thetford has always been delicious, the service unfailingly professional but friendly and the portions more than generous. I love it.”

“A sensational afternoon tea experience. The teas were unusual and delicious. The food, both savory and sweet, was freshly made, and of superior quality. Topping it all off, an elegant yet understated atmosphere with friendly, attentive service. A special thanks to the sweet blonde waitress who helped us with our language skills with uncommon patience and attention.”

“Great London pub steeped in Music history. Simple menu with good food. Friendly welcoming staff. Recommend to book a table to sure if you are planning to eat. Live music a great experience. Highly recommend a visit.”

“Excellent service and delicious food. Spaghetti mare and lasagne accompanied by a carafe of the perfect inky house red.?Desserts also excellent. Only disappointment was the expression and flat white. Bitter and little aroma.”

“Came here for our work Christmas lunch and couldn’t have chosen a better place. The atmosphere was warm, festive, and beautifully balanced …lively without being overwhelming, making it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. Bavinchi truly elevated the experience with his attentiveness, kindness, and calm professionalism. He made us feel genuinely welcome and cared for from start to finish, which added a special touch to the whole afternoon. A wonderful place to celebrate together.”

“Visited for Sunday brunch today, 10/7/22 and it was fantastic. Staff were lovely and efficient and it’s a really nice venue. Not sure why it isn’t busier! The brunch was brilliant. I’d definitely recommend the mushroom marmite eclairs - they’re addictive! Will definitely return.”

“I visited Pizza Express in East Sheen recently, and overall, it was a solid dining experience. We started with the classic Dough Balls – always a winner – soft and warm, with plenty of garlic butter. For mains, I went with the American, which had a nice kick and crispy thin crust. The service was friendly and fairly quick. The Staff were attentive and child friendly. My kids enjoyed the Piccolo menu. I would surely go back – especially with their seasonal offers and kids eat free deals.”

“Highly recommended due to the warm, welcoming and professional team in charge. Had lunch ahead of the rugby at Twickenham and we were well looked after. Great food too!”

“Soltani. Cubed Lamb Fillet & Kofte Kebab My first time Persian food. Really good actually.❤️”

“Not sure about the other reviews but I thought this place is arguably one of the most authentic restaurants in the area. I loved the pizza and pasta we shared - sorry no photos of the Ndjua pizza or sage / butter ravioli as we were too busy eating it! Would highly recommend- avoid the tourist traps and go here. Did I mention the Tiramisu?”

“Cosy spot for brunch or tea near Kew Gardens. Food was great. Ambience was nice too.”

“came here to have a quick brunch before visiting Kew Gardens and boy were we satisfied. The interior was bright and calming. Service was great and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend for those who want a quick bite before trekking around the Kew”

“It goes without saying that the pizza is fabulous and always made with special care when I call and make customised requests. Moreover, the level of service to go above and beyond I experienced recently with Abdullah. I accidentally selected the pickup option and it was snowing - instead of me losing my money, he so kindly dropped the pizza to my door at his shift end. Thank you so much for caring about your customers Abdullah! Amazing service! :))”
